I renewed as a lifetime - i don't plan on ever leaving TN nor do i plan on not liking guns in this lifetime [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

if someone i don't know opens my car door without my approval they will get one in the chest. Not sure of the specifics of law, but I assume if it happens they don't mean to shake my hand.

Here's the dog I'm getting Wednesday. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

They can also be found flashing badges at the Golden Corral.

It is very sensless and horrific for those affected. The politcal spin from our "leaders" will soon follow. I used to travel to Kalamazoo, Lansing and Grand Rapids a lot. Good people up there.

This is a decent group for Dillon reloaders. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Dillion.Reloader/ I have weeded out most groups as I've found most have the same members. The groups that allow anything and everything to be posted I stay away from. I really don't care what you third cousins, aunts twice removed uncle drank at dinner last night. I like guns and cars. Lol

Went to my first Daytona 500 41 years ago when I was 9. Was able to get autographs from all the greats, Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, David Pearson, Bobby and Donnie Allison and many others. Loved the sport and always went to several races every year. The past few years NASCAR has slowly lost me. I believe it started when Earnhardt died. I will DVR and watch the 500 today because it's in my DNA but probably wont watch much the rest of the year. Heck watching the truck race and couldn't believe the "we are going to throw a caution if we go green for 20 minutes" rule. Just not the same IMHO.

  I never liked the S&W BG enough to want to buy one, especially after shooting one and comparing it to a KT P3AT and Ruger LCP. So for those small pocket carry pistol occasions I just stick with the LCP. But once I finish my weight loss program and buy new clothes some deep pocket trousers are on my to buy list. Then it's going to be a G-43 and SA  SDs .45 3.3 for seasonal pocket carry rotation. Fourteen more pounds to go! 

  Just to throw in my unsolicited 2 cents worth...   One of our group was looking to purchase a slimmed down 9mm, so we assembled an XDs, my Shield and a G43 so he could try them out. He shot them all well...but ultimately choose the G43. Quite subjectively, he simply liked the "feel" of the 43 better.Mind you, that particular 43 did have Taran Tactical mag extensions on it.   I shot that particular 43 a few times and it is nice. I personally prefer the trigger on my Shield. But all three were quite easy to run, and run accurately.   No one says you can't have both hipower. :pleased:

I was about to join a local indoor range a few years back. While the paperwork was being done for my wife and I, I walked over and looked out on the range where a couple of people were shooting. They had the place setup so that the brass would almost always go forward onto the range which was inaccessible. The guy said we were ready to sign the application and as I walked back to the counter I asked about the brass being thrown outwards so it couldn't be retrieved. He said "yeah, we keep all of the brass. We have a couple of places that buy it from us. I tore the application in two and said that was a deal breaker for me and we left. I haven't been back to that place for anything.

Glock 20 Gen 4. 10mm will destroy villages, pillage and ravage harlots, kill anything from a Yeti to a M1 Abrams and has longer ranges than most handgun cartridges. Also itll make you grow a beard, jump 100 feet, immune to elemental damage, speak Latin and Ancient Mayan, automatically SMUD RSP Mk84s and increase your reflexes. Also itll automatically disable any felcher with a .40SW as your sheer indomitable will and omnipotence will render them into cuckold girlymen (they already are) and cause them to give you their goods and daugthers (or sons, if youre into that like HiPower is). Then you can become Imperator of Post Apocalyptia and transform into an Eagle that craps 105mm ICMs on the Nemesis Forces like liberals, the French, cav scouts, PETA, .40 owners and LGBT activists. Jesus carried a 10mm, just saying. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I just picked up my Pistol Thursday evening when I got home, I installed Talon grips, a pierce plug and TGO David was kind enough to instal my TruGlo TFO sights, I just shot it for the first time. 5 Magazines of Hornady Critical Duty and I absolutely love this little Glock! very accurate and a great trigger for such a compact pistol, I am very happy with my purchase

Couldn't resist any longer. Did a lot of reading and research on the internet, asked about it on the forum here, found a Sig p226 Legion at a local gun store at a very competitive price (still higher than any other gun I've EVER bought - thankfully got some gun funds for Christmas), and pulled the trigger this afternoon. If it shoots as good as I think it looks and feels, I'll be very, very satisfied.

Pshaw - been there done that 45 years ago

  We'll be here.  I never want TGO to be the reason why someone didn't have heat, hot water, food on the table, gas in their gas tank, etc.  I appreciate your desire to help, but please take care of the main things first.  :)

  Well, if that wasn't the end of the story, those two deputies need to be strung up.

My job has me on the road everyday dealing with a-holes behind the wheel. Not once has it ever crossed my mind to stop one of them and give them what for. What the hell are people thinking these days ???

I'll jump in here and ramble because I have been there done that.  My wife and I began doing the "Dave Ramsey" plan before there was a Dave Ramsey Plan.  Kudos to Ramsey though for what he says makes sense and he learned it the hard way.  One big thing, and I mean "BIG" thing is you and your spouse together must be committed to the end goal and have self-discipline.  Financial discipline is not for the faint of heart.  You must be willing to tell yourself no when you see, want and think you must have the new shiny.  When we financed our last house we asked for a printout of the amortization chart.  Each month we used highliters and paid each standard payment and then added up the next 4 to five months principle only amounts and added that.  This essentially shaved off 4 to 5 months of the mortgage each month.  It gets harder as the principle amounts grow and near the end we could only swing one extra month of principle.  We also applied lump sums as available such as tax returns.  We had a 15 yr. note we paid off in 3.5 years, and no we were not making a lot of money.  Lower middle class at the time.  Drove used cars we paid for in full at purchase and I did all my own home and auto repairs.  We were completely debt free for about 10 years with 800 plus fico scores.   We sold out and elected to bank a chunk and bought our current home with half down.  We had two kids at the time which we did not have going into the other house.  It took us 5 years to pay off a 15 year note in the same fashion a few years back.  We maintain an emergency fund, have two kids in college (that hurts) are debt free and have been for a good while.  23 % of my gross goes to 401k stable value until the market corrects from the unsupported highs it is currently riding.  When / if the market corrects and gets realistic I will dump into funds for growth. Still have 800 plus fico scores and still drive used vehicles and do my own repairs.  Dad always said, "Son, you can make a lot of repairs for the cost of one car payment".  In the beginning I had a work supervisor tell me I was "not smart" for paying extra on my first house.  He felt it was smarter to use the mortgage interest as a tax deduction.  He filed for bankruptcy the very next year.  I've never had enough deductions to justify itemizing. 

If you can meet me in knoxville this week, I can give you a 3lb coffee can full of mixed .45 brass. I have enough. If you want it send me a message and I will give you my phone number. edit: they are not cleaned, and are just range pick ups.

I've always been a huge racing fan. Was involved with dirt car racing for a long time and loved nascar pre-2001. After Earnhardt's death, nascar started to change its image and destroyed the racing in the interest of safety. Now you've just got a bunch of clean-cut, corporate puppets driving cookie-cutter race cars. It's not about who's the best driver or who can build the fastest car anymore. Now any car on the track can win if they are in the right place at the right time and get in a line that can push them to the front. That's just not racing to me. I'm going to watch some of the race today, but I'm sure the racing will be boring and I'll probably grab a nap about 50 laps in. I'm really surprised nascar still has the popularity that it does. It's lost a tremendous amount of its southern fan base. Sponsors are dropping like flies and aren't putting the money into a sport that isn't bringing the return that it used to. If nascar lasts another 10 years in its current form I will be fooled.

  Can't help but to think politically these days, it's tragic and sad and right now i'm sure for the families that the motives don't matter. As soon as I heard about it I thought about how fast Obama will jump on this for an opportunity to spew his anti-gun politics. I know it's sad to think that way but it's the reality of the times and rest assured that we will hear from Obama today about it. Well not we, as soon as I see his face on TV he gets the auto mute button from me. And I do feel bad for the families, I can't know how that feels, I and all of us have lost someone before, we know how it feels but the shock of a loved being murdered in a senseless way by some lowlife psycho is a feeling I don't know and of course hope never know.

  You can join GSSF for around $30 and become eligible after one year. Something to consider for the future. Plus, GSSF matches are a lot of fun.

Well I finished it up tonight. That SLR handguard is NICE. It's super light and easy to install. You don't have to line up anything for the gas tube so just torque to spec and slap it on there....simple. You don't need any special tools either. The only thing that was disappointing is that it does not come with rail sections like most other handguards. I'll have to buy some for my bipod because I don't have any for keymod. I checked headspace and all is well. Installed and timed the brake It weighs just over 8lbs sans optic and suppressor. Didn't weight it with optic because I'll be changing it. I just threw a 3-9x nikon on it for the time being. The only thing left to do is install a dust cover and bipod. I may get a range report tomorrow if the rain holds off. I have a selection of plinker 147 and 150 loads as well as some match 168 and handload 178's. Here she is: [url=http://s107.photobucket.com/user/samson7x/media/DSC_0604_zpsmeasdyjy.jpg.html][/URL]

I'm not sure.... but I think he want's to find them boys.... pretty bad.     https://youtu.be/m1lc7i7BaG8

  Really. The whole truck thing was Keystone Kops.   Wasn't watching that closely at the time, but please tell me how HippieNinja Boy got on the roof of the truck after they left him tied up and drove away?   - OS

  Well it's the media. Just proves college doesn't always make someone smart.

While this worked out well in the end, I don't think this quite falls on one side or another of the one in the pipe argument.  Police should be locked and cocked while on duty and while secured except maybe in an armsroom.     For us, while carrying it is a personal decision which needs to be made by the individual carrying.  I fall into the locked and cocked category, but that's just me and a product of my training and experience.

Well I think this will be my final update for The Blacklist Pups. I feel like I have harassed you all enough. If you want, you can click on the link for the YouCaring page and subscribe to my updates there. I just wanted to share the girl we found wandering down the road yesterday. She has no name yet but I am leaving towards Mascha. This is her terrified and stressed after I ran to her in the road, put a leash around her neck and put her in the back of the truck. She is HUGE. Her feet fill the palm of my hand and her legs are like baby tree trunks. It is amazing. This is the dirty birdie once we finally got her home and into a room where she could be secluded until I get her to the vet tomorrow. I need to make sure she is fully healthy before I do anything else. I can't risk anything else happening to the pups. Finally here she is washed and ready to be blow dried. I think she has some Newfie in her. Her coat is super long and fluffy. Luckily, I think she is around 12-14 weeks old. Which means I can get her hopefully spayed around the same time as Ressler. Who we finally have interest in from a family. They've asked a lot of the important questions so now we are just waiting to get an application back to move forward if they are really interested. I want to thank all of you who have been so generous to donate. Without your help, I don't even know where we would be. I am going to talk to my doctor about getting scanned for the puppy magnet so we can get it removed. LOL For one last time I am going to do this as well. Below is the link to the YouCaring page where you can sign up for all future updates on the puppies. It is where I load all receipts from what I have spent as well as photos of the pups. It is where you can donate or use links to share our story as well, which is always appreciated. https://www.youcaring.com/coop-liz-ressler-and-red-516225 Lastly, a link to our Amazon Wish List. This is basically to help with Food (Dry and Wet) and Puppy pads. They are all Amazon Prime options which means free shipping if you are a prime member but it will come straight to our house once you select Wish List Recipient. https://amzn.com/w/1T8GYU8KCI9XU Once again, thank you for EVERYTHING you have done to help from donations to sharing. Monkey and I appreciate it more then we can ever tell you and again, like I said, for the sake of transparency all receipts are loaded into the you caring. I do have a few I need to add from recent food and puppy pad shopping trips.

I agree it was a racing wreck, but she definitely stuck her car in his position. In her defense the spotters can't see much on the backstretch to have been of any real help. He is a hothead and I am sure his interview would have been entertaining.   It made me wonder if NASCAR put the kabosh on an interview so as to keep their homogenized clean and proper new image intact.

Ok guys, Deadline will be upon us soon, if any of you are on the fence about getting one of these, jump now and request your number

Quit your crying, Meadows. You're not east... I'm east. Yours is just a short commute. Al

I dont want to ruin it for anybody, but they gonna go left, then they gonna go left, then they gonna go left, then......

When Dale Earnhardt died a piece of NASCAR died. My son was a Earnhardt nut and he spent 4 grand on a Dale Earnhardt  Mac Tool Box and keeps it covered in a corner of the shop all covered up with a Dale Earhart logo on the cover. He bought the box 3 years before Dales death and about a year after Dale died he had a guy offer him 8 Grand for it and he called me and ask me if I thought he should sell it and I said it's not eating anything and it can only go up in value as long as Dale Junior is still racing and keeping the name in front of fans.   I told him when the offers went 10 grand or more sell it cash only. I also told him to add that box value to the Shop Keepers Insurance policy as a collectors Item and he insured it for $10,000.00.   Now as far as NASCAR to this day and will be a fan till the day I die. I spent 14 years racing at Nashville Speedway, Smyrna Speedway and Highland Rim and once in a while in Birmingham. I still have the feel of Burnt Rubber and hot gear oil in my veins Most all my friends are Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt, Legano Fans. My driver has been Rowdy Kyle Busch ever since the first time I saw him drive and I knew he would be a champion one day but didn't expect it to be last year after his injury at Daytona. When NASCAR offered him that deal that he could still race his way in and he won his first race back and it was a road course with all that shifting with those sore legs I knew right then he was going for the gld and he brought the gold home.   Now as far as cookie cutter cars that's all the Auto manufacturers are giving them to work with. It's not NASCAR, it's the lack of skill in the designing at the Auto Makers. I was a mechanic for almost 35 years and I could tell you what make and model a car was from 1/4 mile away back years ago. Today, unless I', parked next to it and can read the name on it I have no clue what it is. I listen to police everyday say that the bad guy got a way in a black car, possibly a Chevy Malibu, or Toyota Camry but it might have been a Honda Accord. They cannot tell them apart any more either.   Like I said I will be a die hard fan till they are shoveling dirt in my face and Kyle and maybe even Kurt will be my two drivers. They both drive like a Young Dale Sr. did that earned him the name "The Intimidator"  Kyle was not afraid to use his bumper from time to time on slower cars after he would bump them a few times letting them know he was faster.     Now that is one place that NASCAR has hurt the sport. It use to be "Rubbing was racing!" Now if you rub a little to much your parked for a few weeks. To me that's a crock...........................jmho

Friday and Saturday night - Let's go to the fights at the track and see if a race breaks out. LOL

    would you rather fight with a Garand or a Mauser?

  At my uncle's track (actually my cousin, he was just older than me so it was more like an uncle) we had 1 rule - you could fight until the police broke it up, but if you did fight it had to be in the front straight so the fans could watch it too.  We would milk the hell out of that stuff from the tower... And drunk rednecks on a dirt track = fight almost every Saturday.

Go Kenny Schrader!

its fine as long as yall don't prohecy the future by comparing the present to what will happen in the comics.  I agree that I don't like reading spoilers.  Just put a disclaimer at the top of your post that says "comic book spoiler" 

MAN! I gotta git me a 10!

I think the Fox News story is updated with the shooters name.  I admit I read quickly through the story looking for a Muslim name as the shooter, but it wasn't his name was Jason Dalton.  So for a moment I was admittedly profiling the shooter.  Shame on me.

hope the injured party is ok and recovers 100% soon! I was a member and quit going there when I lived in Knoxville because of the lack of muzzle discipline among shooters --- and the staff's non-desire to do anything about it.

Didn't even get their foot in the door before you drop the "FortyHatinBomb" Ha!!!

  My 2 seater cart turned into a 7 or 8 person gear hauler....be careful my friend you could be tying people to the roof rack!

I just shared because I thought there were some interesting things. I didn't know there was another thread about it, I'm sorry. It was early and I didn't think to search. I'm still new at this a bit.

Oh believe me, my fun money is coming with me! Never wrestled a rhino, did fight a bear once though ;)

  Yep. You probably remember that the American Bison was nearly hunted to extinction here. Private ranchers took control of some of the remaining herds and their numbers are now so plentiful that you can get a Bison burger at a restaurant for only nominally more than beef. The same thing happened with the American alligator in Louisiana. My understanding is that there is an alligator hunting season there now because they have come back so strong.   Privatizing wildlife creates a financial incentive for the owner to take measures to protect the animals and to breed them in numbers large enough to make them available for hunting or consumption by those who want them.   Next up: Why we privatize our waterways. (Hint: Pretty much see the above argument and apply it to water.)

The Signess bit me years ago, it stated in the early 90s with P229, then it grew to the P220 Carry, P226 Israeli West German service weapon, then a classic P228 West German and then I purchased a P6 West German.  I have not added to the signess in a while, but the envy pressure is mounting.   

Prentice Cooper WMA range is free. 'Bout 10 miles from center of town. basic directions: From Chattanooga, take Hwy 27 to Signal Mountain exit. Turn right onto Signal Mountain Rd. Turn left onto Hwy 27 (Suck Creek Rd.) Do not go up the mountain on Hwy 127. Continue on Hwy 27 for approximately 8 miles (into Marion County). Watch for sign of your left that says Prentice Cooper Wildlife Management Area. Turn left at that sign. suck creek road, marion county, tn - Google Maps
